Joe Biden sprains his ankle after slipping while playing with dog | US news | The Guardian


American president-elect Joe Biden has sprained his ankle after slipping while playing with his dog, according to his doctor.

In a brief statement, Biden’s office said the incident happened on Saturday and that the 78-year-old was being examined by a bone specialist on Sunday “out of an abundance of caution”.

Biden later visited an orthopaedic specialist in Newark, Delaware. According to a statement from his doctor, Kevin O’Connor, Biden sustained a sprain of his right foot and while “initial X-rays are reassuring that there is no obvious fracture,” he’ll be receiving a CT scan for further review.

Reporters travelling with him were held on a bus and could not see him enter the building.

Political leaders really need to be healthy and younger than 78, even if tenure is only 4 years. Who takes over if he can't carry on? May be a shift in direction, not what people voted for.

Er, the VP.

If she can't then the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Cripes. If spraining an ankle means one is not fit to hold a desk job with an occasional walkabout then I'm screwed.

You've got to be careful though - I sprained my ankle months ago and it still twinges at times.

Probably being mentally healthy and a three figure IQ level is more important than a bit of frailty.

If it is still twinging you need to see a physio.

Biden is just a puppet. He has absolutely no say or control over what goes on, it won't make any difference what kind of shape he is in.

Otherwise I would agree.

Who is the puppet master?

The Qanon people are already saying it's to conceal one of those ankle tracking devices, as he's been secretly indicted for treason due to election fraud and will, once Trump reveals his master plan, be off to Gitmo to face a firing squad
